Believe it or not, before I saw her name, I read in a brief blurb that she was Indian American and I thought they meant she was, you know, the other kind of American Indian. I also thought that was quite cool. This is just as cool. Stuff like this will happen more and more and people will have to choose to be bigoted or the other way. I like to think the other way will win out.

Heck maybe one day we'll even have a Mr. pageant that doesn't have to have grotesquely muscular men. Too far?

I'm sure that the same kind of thing happens in other countries. It's just shaming that it happens here. Not to mention how ignorant the great American public shows itself to be. Never heard of the great relations between Hindu India and Islamic Pakistan, I suppose.

I think about this a lot. I am the son of a Dane and a red head. The sun and I have a love hate relationship. If I had married the girl I dated in high school and early college she our kids would have been a risk to take out during the day!

My wife (Japanese as most know I guess) is a bit on the dark side for a Japanese, and thankfully my son got some of her natural sun protection. The white race is doomed. Maybe we will become like the Morlocks feeding on those above us?

*of course, when I say "we" I am using the royal "we", I am not presuming everyone here is caucasian.

In Japan, many women, especially those in their midlife, use parasols and gloves to try to stay as white as possible. Skin whiteners are all the rage too. I have seen the same thing in many parts of SE Asia; girls with white faces, but it you take a good look at their arms they are several shades darker.
